Summary:
Zip code 61914 has two schools in Okaw Valley CUSD 302: Okaw Valley Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 4, and Okaw Valley High School serves grades 9–12; no middle school is listed. They enroll 170 and 162 students, respectively. Because the schools serve different grades and their results come from different assessments, their test scores cannot be directly ranked against each other. The clearest overall finding is that every reported 2025–2026 school result was below its matching state result, though the size of the shortfall varied.
Okaw Valley Elementary stands out for a strong improvement in IAR results, while still trailing the state: its 2025–2026 ELA proficiency was 48%, compared with 56% statewide, and math was 29%, compared with 40%.
